Help If You Can

Many of you know that Richard wont be able to live on his own when he is discharged from the rehab center. He still will require outpatient rehab, must learn how to drive again, and learn to be financially repsonsible for himself. These are just to name a few. I only have a small two bedroom home that will not accomodate his needs. After much prayer (and a huge step of faith) Philip and I have decided to add an addition to our house. We are going to convert out big garage into a in-law type suite so he can have the supervision he needs however the privacy he deserves. I have a gentleman from our church who is going to oversee this for me. If anyone has any expertise in this area or knows someone that will be willing to help with time and materials please call me. (628-6206) We will be doing things such as windows, doors, running new electricity and lighting, framing walls, drywall, painting, a phone line, and running air conditioning to that area. Im sure there are more things that I dont know about. Im confident we can accomplish this before he comes home which will be approx. two months from now. Please help us bring him home!
Also I want to personally thank everyone that has helped us tremendously till this point. People came out to help us move Richard from his house. People have provided places for my family to stay.People have feed us great meals since we are constantly on the go and have no time to cook. Someone provided a storage space for Richards belongings until he needs them again. The money raised from various fundraisers will be greatly used for medical bills since they have already surpassed $1,000,000. (before insurance) Mostly thank you for your daily prayers. I know there are a lot of people feverently praying for our needs daily and Im forever thankful.
Many people have asked about pictures of Richard. I have, for quite sometime, wanted to post pictures of Richards recovery along the way. We take weekly pictures and videos so one day he will see just how far he has come. However, after discussion with my family, we feel that it would not be appropriate to post them online. His journey through this has been a constant struggle and is a very personal issue. Therefore, we choose to respect his privacy. Please continue to pray!!!
